That is puzzling question presented
by somebody "If love is blind how can
there be such thing as love at first
sight:'
After all, it would do no good to lock
John Sullivan up for drunkenness or any
thing else. He could easily knock him
self out.
Brother Burchard is for Cleveland so
that, after all, he did that alliteratIng
fraudulently and with the mere purpose
of alliterating.
The surplus amounts to over hum

people are not smart enough to tell what
to do with it.
a Georgia colored woman found a dia-

explanation of this is the old one that
the colored woman lied.
The Chicago Nail calls itself the MauG

apparently lost its shoes, is off it's feed,
and is knock kneed and badly spawned.

Journey al Lire.

No one passes through tho journey of
this life, though it be but of moderate
length, without losing kindred and friends
by death, whom he tendclly loved when
living, and continues to love long after
they have gone. If one lives to an adj
vanced age, he usually has far greater
nun Der Of such friends in the next world
than he has in this Death sweeps them
away, and sometimes he is left almost
alone in respect to the cherished compan-
ionship of his earthly life. To those loved
ones dead he can rel del no service, and,
SO far as We know, from them receive
none. He may think of them, but he can
do nothing for them. lie can speak no
kind word To them, and give them no
good advice. He can make no sacrifices
to promote their joys. The lessons to be
learned from this fact is that we should
act towards our kindred and friends
while they are living, as we, if surviving
them, will wish we had acted when they
are sleeping in the grave. Let the hus-
while they hold this relation, that the
death of neither will give the other any
occasion for regret on account of miscon-
duct. Let parents and children, brothers
and sisters, friends intimately associated,
and, indeed, all men, observe the same
rule, and this certainly would be a much
happier world. The rule would lessen
the number of family quarrels, and make
life more serene and more like heaven.
Fewer hard speeches would pass between
them. Gentleness and kindness would
be the law of human action. We once
heard a man who had just lost most
excellent wife say: 81 am now sincerel,
sorry for every unkind word | ever spoke
to that woman. | wish | could tell her
so, and in some way receive from her
the expression of her forgiveness |
would give $4,000 if l could thereby
blot out all such words.'
We have no doubt that just this sort of
feeling has penetrated many bosom.
The way to avoid it is SO to act toward
others that there will be no occasion for
it when they are dead and gone.-7He M-

He Held to His Opinion,

During the rebellion Sergeant Blank,
an Irishman by birth, was promoted for
bravery to the position of Second Lieu
tenant in one of the regular regiments.
a brave man and an excellent soldier,
the close of the war found him holding
the rank of Captain and brevet Major
for gallantry on the field. He could not,
however, get rid of his brogue nor repair
the deficiencies of his early education,
but he was argumentative and always
ready to express an opirion. One day
the conversation turned on suicide.
"Well, gintlemin," said Ethe Major, 81
don't believe that amy man ever COM
mitted suicide widout he was crazy, and
l may so further and say that l doan't
think amy man ever led forloarn hope
unless he was likewise insane" "Well,
Major" said young X, who was just
out of West Point, chow about the
charge of Balaklava?" well, said the
Major, 81 doant exactly remember about
Balaklava, but think that he was iu-
sane, too, for the time bein'. "-Harpers

HOMESPUN HINTS.
A Fresh Lot of Aphorisms Struck on by
Dr. Collyer.

A Fresh Lot of Aphorisms struck on by
DIR. CoIIyer.
A recent address by Rev. DR.. Collyer
to some college students has met with
praise from the Norfolk IIrginian, which
said:
DR.. Collyer remarked that he had
worked on a farm, carried hod. shod
horses, broke stone on turnpike, reaped
and Graded grain, dug well, cut wood
and preached sermons that nobody wan
I'D to hear. His wonderful success had
been achieved by pure grit and honest
industry. You must dig down to hard
pan, he said, to lay foundation to fame
and fortune. His aphorisms may be
grouped as follows:
Work is good medicine.
A mans best friends are his ten fin
gers.
Society says one thing, and nature
says another.
Any kind of an honest job is better
than no job at all.
Take dollar day for your work if
you can get no more.
Have reserve force that will come
out when you need it.
The honest man who dies poor is rich
if he only holds his own.
Only those who make clean money and
do clean things win success.
A good days work at what you can
best do is the hard pan to which all
must come.
When country boys come to the city if
they can only hold on to the old sweet
ways they can defy the world.
Sleep eight hours out of the twenty
four, eat three meals day and walk on
the sunny side of the way.
Keep your grip on the hard pan of
principle of good conduct, and you will
be men of good name and good fortune.
When boy fills a house with bugs he
is all right, provided he don't run after
humbugs He has the making in him
of a very great naturalist.
A good farmer is better than poor
doctor, and good horseshoer is better
than poor bishop.

In Brief, And To The Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits, and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American people
a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness and making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals and
be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without health
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
druggist for "a bottle. Seventy-iive cents. 2

TIM CAMPBELL SAYS
Cleveland VIII be Renominated and VIII
Win In "a Canter.

WAsuINGroS, June 21.-"Cleveland will!
be renominated, sure, ald will win in
canter." said Representative Timothy j.
Campbell. OF New York, to Post report
er yesterday. He is a good President
the abest executive officer in the country;
he has a genius for practical Democratic
government, and he has few enemies.
The few that he mas are very lean, and at
the National Democratic Convention next
year the fat kline will swallow up the
lean kline. Governor Hill is all right He
is good man in the right place;
he is in the right place now aud he
is going to remain there some time.
1t is the same with President Cleveland;
he is good man in the right place, and IT
would be one of the hardest blows ever
struck at the Democratic party II the
Democrats neglected to nominate and
elect him to second presidential term.
Governor Hill is a worthy successor OF
Mr.. Cleveland in his present position.
The time may come when he will prove a
worthy successor TO a higher place, but
the time will not come next year Gov
ernor Hill can wait, and you can depend
upon IL, he means to waitl He has
learned the lesson how to labor and to
wait. Cleveland will be President
